Pioneer in Strategic Value Creation and Communication, founded Bulletin Relations as a seasoned expert in investor relations, corporate communications, and capital market strategies.
My journey reflects initiative and hands-on experience. After leaving my economics studies at the University of Wuppertal, I joined GIS Wirtschaftsdaten GmbH (now Smartbroker Holding AG) in Düsseldorf. I mastered financial analysis, geopolitical insights, and more through self-directed learning and real-world application in fast-paced settings. Early successes included projects with industry leaders like T-Mobile, Mannesmann D2, and Deutsche Bank Private Banking.
At wallstreet:online AG (today Smartbroker Holding), I led German and later international investor relations and marketing, consistently securing funding, shaping strategies, and driving growth. This phase highlighted the critical role of seamless communication in long-term success.
In 2007, I moved to Switzerland and founded BS&C Business, _Strategy & Capital AG, focusing on corporate financing and capital raising, particularly for Canadian companies. During this time, I also served as a board member and shareholder of Plutos Venture AG, which was later sold with partners. I built a robust network within Switzerland’s private equity scene, which I value for its discretion and efficiency – operating quietly, independent of public market structures. In 2011, I successfully sold BS&C, paving the way for further innovative models.
My passion for markets, finance, geopolitics, crypto, and business models drives my work. I thrive on exploring ideas to anticipate market shifts. My motto is:
‘We’re facing an epochal shift where no one knows the direction – the perfect time to position yourself.’
This belief inspired my ‘Boardroom to Newsroom’ method, developed over two decades, connecting boardroom decisions with data-driven newsroom narratives to often double enterprise value. From ESG controversies to market volatility or internal transformations, I create clarity that moves markets and builds trust.
My values center on sustainable value creation, transparency, and innovation. Outside the boardroom, I find balance in nature, reading, philosophy, and sports, while maintaining networks selectively. Discretion and results are my priorities. Ready to transform your challenges into successes? Contact me for personalized consultation.
